Pinewood Derby

Winner in his Division and you're looking at the kid that received the award for "coolest sleekest car" and the Grand Champion. His car was unbeatable this year. Rich found the design for the fast car and I will admit that I did the wheels with Redden this year. We worked for a few hours before the derby to get them on just the way they're supposed to be. (no secrets disclosed) ;) ;) Dad

Quote of the Day

2/18/09I was singing "we're off to see the Wizard the wonderful wizard of oz.... Austin says outloud "that movie is scary for me". I replied with "I love it" and he said very matter of factly..."but mom...the wizards face freaks me out". Love this kid. 6/6/08This was a conversation that came up at dinner tonight.Redden: Dad...do girls have whole brains and boys only have half of a brain?Mom: jumping in quickly of course - Yep!Dad: No...whoever told you that doesn't know what they're talking about.5/25/08Redden: You don't want me having pop and a pocket knife at the same time...that would be real scary!

5/19/08Yesterday I went into Walgreens to pick up a prescription. They conveniently have a massage chair set up in there for people to sit on and try out while they wait. Yesterday he asked if he could sit in it and turn it on. I said yes go ahead. As I am called up to the register to pick up the meds, Austin shouts through the pharmacy... "Mom, Mom! It's workin' out my knuckles!". He had everyone rolling. There was a pregnant mother sitting on the chair next to him looking like she was gonna pop and I bet she was wondering what she had signed up for.
